Millworker - Emmylou Harris[00:00:00]

Written by：Brian Ahern[00:00:00]

My grandfather was a sailor[00:00:00]

Blewing off the water[00:00:04]

My father was a farmer[00:00:07]

And I his only daughter[00:00:11]

Took up with a no good millworking man from Massachusetts[00:00:14]

Who dies from too much whiskey[00:00:21]

And leaves me these three faces to feed[00:00:24]

Now millwork ain't easy[00:00:31]

Mill work ain't hard[00:00:35]

Millwork it ain't nothing but an awful boring job[00:00:38]

Waiting for a day dream[00:00:45]

To take me through the morning[00:00:49]

And put me in my coffee break[00:00:52]

Where I can have a sandwich and review[00:00:56]

And it's me and my machine[00:01:02]

For the rest of the morning[00:01:05]

For the rest of the afternoon[00:01:09]

For the rest of my life[00:01:14]

Now my mind begins to wonder[00:01:25]

To the days back on the farm[00:01:28]

I can see my father smiling at me[00:01:32]

Swingin' on his arm[00:01:36]

I can hear my grand dad's stories[00:01:39]

Of the storms out on lake Erie[00:01:42]

Where vessels and cargos and fortunes[00:01:46]

And sailor's lives were lost[00:01:51]

But it's my life has been wasted[00:02:24]

And I have been the fool[00:02:28]

To let this manufacture use my body for a tool[00:02:31]

I can ride home in the evening[00:02:38]

Staring at my hands[00:02:41]

And swearing by my sorrow that a young girl[00:02:45]

Ought to stand a better chance[00:02:50]

So may I work the mills[00:02:56]

Just as long as I am able[00:02:59]

And never meet the man[00:03:03]

Whose name is on the label[00:03:06]

And it's me and my machine[00:03:11]

For the rest of the morning[00:03:15]

For the rest of the afternoon[00:03:19]

For the rest of my life[00:03:24]
